for the Alcatel one touch Venture / Premiere:Nice Basic Android PhoneYou can pick these up for $39 and it is a nice basic Android phone. It is a great value for that price.
You get the Google Play store for apps. Touch screen and real physical keyboard.
It is a great basic Android phone for light duty users.
Battery life is ok. Again for light duty. The audio quality is quite good. Clear and pretty loud.
I have an HTC EVO for my primary VM phone, but use this for times when ...

for the ZTE Warp:Nice Giant PhoneThis is one nice big phone for Boost Mobile.
Decent build quality, nice big screen, fast response when launching apps and switching between screens.

for the HTC Wildfire S (CDMA):Great Android PhoneI got the white colored version for Virgin Mobile.
It looks really sleek, modern and clean.
Nice compact size.
Vibrant responsive touch screen.

for the Sanyo Zio by Kyocera:Very Old SchoolSlow.....slow.....unresponsive......
Cheap looking and feeling.......
Might have impressed someone 3 years ago.
Not now.
Do yourself a favor and skip it.

Feb 3, 2011, 1:18 AM

for the Huawei Ascend:Horrible Little PhoneSluggish response. Slow....slow......slow.......
Touch screen is very slow and unresponsive. Not clear and crisp either. Graphics and text look blocky. The on-screen keyboard is a nightmare to use. Expect to do a lot of tapping and getting the wrong letters.
Call quality is mediocre. Not loud enough or clear enough.
What is up with the small non-standard headphone jack. No using your own ear-buds on this thing.
Looks and feels cheap.
Skip this phone.

for the Samsung Intercept:Avoid Like the Plague !This is the MOST horrible phone I ever used !
Very slow and lagging screen and buttons. Apps start up very slowly. You have to hit the buttons over and over to get them to respond.
Horrible battery life, hardly used it and it could not make it through the day.
This model really needs to be discontinued. The user experience is just not usable or acceptable.
This phone will totally turn you off to Android, but trust me not all Android ...

for the Apple iPhone 4 (GSM):Gorgeous PhoneBeautiful phone, looks and feels better than any phone you ever touched. Like a fine Leica camera.

Aug 30, 2010, 11:47 PM

for the Huawei Tap:Horrible PhoneAvoid like the plague !

for the Apple iPhone:Coolest Phone Ever MadeI hit the Albuquerque Apple store right after work on Friday to pick-up two 8GB iphones for my wife and I.
It was a very exciting event. The news media was there including a helicopter hovering in the air filming. It was a 100 degree heat, but Apple staff were handing out bottled water. The line was pretty long, but once the store opened at 6PM I was in the store in 45 minutes. It was an amazing event with ...

for the Samsung SGH-T629:Very Stylish Looking PhoneI just switched over to T-Mobile from Cingular to take advantage of the wonderful money saving My Faves plans that they have.
I got this phone for $99 and I am really enjoying it. I use it as a back-up phone to my far more feature rich Nokia e61. I got it unlocked right away so I can use it during travel with other carrier's SIMs.
This Samsung T-629 is very stylish looking and a pleasure to use also.
Pros:

for the Ericsson T39:A True Classic PhoneI just purchased one of these T39's unlocked from a guy on eBay. It was $25 and totally refurbished to look and perform like new. Using it here in Albuquerque NM and it works great !
It is a fantastic phone. Very good RF radio performance. Holds calls like a magnet. Nice sounding audio that is clear and loud enough to hear.
The phone is attractive and small. I highly recommend it for international travel. Just pop in an international SIM ...

for the Nokia 6215i:OK Phone - Poor Build QualityThis phone is quite slim and has an average feature set. The audio is quite good on the Verizon network here in Albuquerque NM. The problem with this phone is the build quality. It is quite flimsy and does not appear that it will hold up very well.
This has been my experience with Pantech phones in general. They appear and feel cheap and do not last very well to the rigers of the real world. The feature sets ...

for the Nokia 8890:A True ClassicI just purchased one of these brand new from Overstock.com. Who knows where they got them as this is a pretty old phone. Seems to be a European packaging.
Anyway, this phone is a true classic in style and design.
It has good reception ( RF ) and solid audio. Very solid metal build, not plastic like all the new phones out there. These folks were using metal 6 years before the Moto RAZR.
Works great, looks wonderful, and does not have ...

Reception on Cingular is fantastic. I dumped my Treo 650 and switched to the Nokia 9300 and there is no going back. Audio is much more crisp and clear and I get solid reception where I got nothing on the Treo.

for the Palm Treo 650 (GSM):Best Gadget I Ever Owned !Purchased unlocked/unbranded GSM unit direct from Palm Website. Using on Cingular network in ABQ.
The screen is just gorgeous and the look, fit, and finish is very professional and business looking. I bought a 1GB SD card for $59 at OfficeMax and the storage space is great to have. This is a key feature that my other Treos did not have, the ability to have virtually unlimited storage by adding SD cards. Cheap 2GB cards are only months away ! ...

for the Sony Ericsson T637:Blue Tooth is Nice !I got this phone for $29.99 from AT&T Wireless with a new 1 year contract. The color screen is sharp, bright, and clear. The phone is a nice size, but too square and angular in shape. My biggest complaint about the phone is the somewhat poor reception. There is always a static heard in the background of every call. The phone does not drop calls, but the static is annoying. It sounds like you are talking on an old ...

for the Nokia 8270:Cool Blue and YouThis phone is offered by the wonderful folks at Cricket Communications here in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area. Cricket offers you unlimited wireless calling 24/7 for $32.99 per month. Nice ! This phone is small and looks cool. It has all the features you need and leaves out all the ones you never use. The changeable faceplates are nice and look great. Avoid the ones made by third parties that are cheaply made, do not fit correctly and void the ...

for the Palm Treo 300:Best PDA/Phone Period !!Once you own this little gem you will never again own, want, or need a seperate wireless phone and PDA. The Treo 300 combines both devices into a small unit that easily fits into your pocket. The screen is sharp and the color vivid. Audio is clear and crisp and you can run thousands of existing Palm applications. The keyboard is an extremely useful feature. I will NEVER go back to a phone or PDA without a full QWERTY ...

Throw out your old obsolete PDA and cell phone and buy this product. Definitely very, very cool. Thanks Samsung !
